Sailing
by Jerry Jeff Walker
Spoken by Jerry Jeff:
Well, there I am in Mexico, man,
I'm sittin' on a big hot rock------with the blues,
Watchin' this sailboat drive by, and I'm wonderin', "Where's mine?"
Hell, I know where there's ship in a bottle,
I mean a schooner with a worm on board, yeah.
Chorus:
F*
I think I'm gonna go off sailing
CI think I'm gonna go off sailing
F bass line: F E Dm7
I think I'm gonna go off sail ing
Gflat C F
Cause I've been on dry land too long
FSomething I seen here seems to make me seasick
CSomething I seen here seems to make me seasick
F bass line: F E Dm7
Something I seen here seems to make me sea sick
And I bGm7een on dry lCand too lFong
(Roll on)
Chorus
Leeches, land sharks, octopusses make my bwain hurt
Land sharks, octopusses make my bwain hurt
Yea, and I've been on dry land too long
(Ship in a bottle)
Chorus
(Sail on, sail on)
Chorus
(Let's carry on)
Chorus
(I need a ship in a bottle)
Chorus
*The song may very well be in E, since it seems tuned about half-way between
E and F.
